Ar.other sad accident i-; i-!ironi.-led in the annals of the St. L. K. '. & Col. railroad, by whi'-h another human life has gone out. Last Saturday about noon, as the freight train coming from St. Louis to Union was passing the gravel baron the Weir f.irru. some two or three miles ea.-t from the Union oepot. a "running switch" was atfmpt"d by the train gang, to place several empties on the track miming into the gravel bank. It seems that Mr. Charles Powell. standing on the end of the last car that was to he cut out of the train, uncoupled ! the last two cars and cab lose, but the man .vh .wasto have ma le, the other break iu thotraiit. by some m '.ins failed to make the uncoupling. When the engine starteff'up to run away from the ears ihat were to tike the switch it gave them all a sudden impetus ahead on the main track. Powell, not expecting this sudden movement, lost his balance and foil upon the roadbed. The cars he had uncoupled were following o close) v- that he hail no iiiue to save Uims?',f. All threu passed over him. crushing the life out almost iusta:;tly. It could be seen that he was still breathing when picked up and placed in the caboose, out that was all the evidence of life there was iu the mangled form, and that, too, soon ceased. His suff ering was short. The remains were brought on to Union, and by Undertaker Hein properly arrange.; and placed in a casket, and were returned that evening to his grief-stricken family at Labadie. Charles Powel had been in the em-1 ploy of the Colorado several years, and s: far as we ever heard was trusted by his employers and respected by all his associates. Hi's funeral Sunday, Aug. 1, was conducted U- the Union Grove lodge, A. O. U. W., of which deceased was an honorable brother, and the lodge of Gray Summit, in all probably thirty or forty members. It was said to be tin largest funeral cortage ever to drive out of LaLad'e. The remains were laid to rest in the Bethel chinch c.-meterv, ab-iut two miles from Labadie. in the same cem eU ry where ooth his parents have been tenents for seveial years.

Our citizens are pretty generally availing themselves of the advantages of the waterworks. Even those who leclared they never would at the time of their erection, are sen.iblv thinking better of the improvement, and take water witii the rest. Some, where lo cated where they can have private sewerage, are having their premises thoroughly pipj.l aim supplied with all the modern cenvenienees. One of our new residences it is said is having plumbing done to the extent of 500, and Mr. Oscar Busch is having his new building fitted up in the most approved modern strlb of plumbing. The county court has very wisely had an extensive system of supply and sewerage put in at the .oiu t house, Franklin County Ores. Col. A. W. Manpin informs us that Bartle & Duckworth of St Clair have recently shipped from that place a carload of gaiena lead ore to the reduction works at Cheltingham, to see what can be gotten out of it. The reg:on round about St. Clair abounds iu this ore ; it is being smelted there daily at a furnace owned and run by the same gentlemen who hare made this shipment, but the sttppositinn is they do not succeed in extracting all the wealth from the mother ore. Some are even of the opinieu that if handled properly ,1 paying perceut of silver can be obtained. Ripans Tabules cure nausea.

Our city fathers failed to connect for a meeting last Monday evening, their regular time for meeting. At a meeting Tuesday evening nothing of importance w is transacted, but an important question was discussed, that ui furnishing public watering fountains at convenient points, especially for the accommodiation of the country customers who come to town. TU.-se are of great importance, and like all other good things in connection with our water works system, will come in time. It is said tint some of our spirited citizens are thinking of putting up public fountains at their own expense They are the kind of citizens that make a city. We are called upon this week to chronicle the death of one of Franklin county's prominent citizens, Edwin Jeffries. Esq., of St. Clair. Mr. Jeffries has been confined for fifteen or twenty days with a carbuncle on the back of his head, and quite a number of boils iu different parts of the system. He has probably been a very great sufferer. Relief came to him at 3 o'clock last Sunday afternoon, Aug. 1, 18U7. Mr. Jeffries was bom nearly 55 years ago, on the old Jas. Jeffries homestead, now in the suburt.s of St. Clair, a son of Janes Jeffries, one of tiie pioneer settlers of thi" pa.t of the state. He died at the place of his birth. The subject of our sketch was a gentleman of fair education, but we are not aware of where hi received hisschooling. He served honorably in the army of the Southern Confereracy in the War of Rebellion, receiving a very severe scalp wound from an exploding shrll. Returning from the war, Mr. Jeffries entered the practice of the law in this, his native, county, and took a lively interest iu politics. He was twice the successful candidate for the office of prosecuting attorney, and was appointed by the county court as swamp land commissioner, at a time when that was an important position. Under Cleveland's first administration, Mr. Jeffries received the appointment as deputy internal revenue collectoy for this district. He acquitted Himself so well that upon Cleveland resuming the affiirs of government, he was reappointed to the position, which he held till the tiaie of his death. Mr. Jeffries had been twice married. His fitst wife and their only child died some years since. A wife, formerly a MiSi Coons of St. Louis, and two siall children now survive him. Deceased !! a very moral and exam-pl.try life, but was not a churchmember. Funeral took place Monday 21 inst.. at 2 P.

Ar.other sad accident i-; i-!ironi.-led in the annals of the St. L. K. '. & Col. railroad, by whi'-h another human life has gone out. Last Saturday about noon, as the freight train coming from St. Louis to Union was passing the gravel baron the Weir f.irru. some two or three miles ea.-t from the Union oepot. a "running switch" was atfmpt"d by the train gang, to place several empties on the track miming into the gravel bank. It seems that Mr. Charles Powell. standing on the end of the last car that was to he cut out of the train, uncoupled ! the last two cars and cab lose, but the man .vh .wasto have ma le, the other break iu thotraiit. by some m '.ins failed to make the uncoupling. When the engine starteff'up to run away from the ears ihat were to tike the switch it gave them all a sudden impetus ahead on the main track. Powell, not expecting this sudden movement, lost his balance and foil upon the roadbed. The cars he had uncoupled were following o close) v- that he hail no iiiue to save Uims?',f. All threu passed over him. crushing the life out almost iusta:;tly. It could be seen that he was still breathing when picked up and placed in the caboose, out that was all the evidence of life there was iu the mangled form, and that, too, soon ceased. His suff ering was short. The remains were brought on to Union, and by Undertaker Hein properly arrange.; and placed in a casket, and were returned that evening to his grief-stricken family at Labadie. Charles Powel had been in the em-1 ploy of the Colorado several years, and s: far as we ever heard was trusted by his employers and respected by all his associates. Hi's funeral Sunday, Aug. 1, was conducted U- the Union Grove lodge, A. O. U. W., of which deceased was an honorable brother, and the lodge of Gray Summit, in all probably thirty or forty members. It was said to be tin largest funeral cortage ever to drive out of LaLad'e. The remains were laid to rest in the Bethel chinch c.-meterv, ab-iut two miles from Labadie. in the same cem eU ry where ooth his parents have been tenents for seveial years.

Our citizens are pretty generally availing themselves of the advantages of the waterworks. Even those who leclared they never would at the time of their erection, are sen.iblv thinking better of the improvement, and take water witii the rest. Some, where lo cated where they can have private sewerage, are having their premises thoroughly pipj.l aim supplied with all the modern cenvenienees. One of our new residences it is said is having plumbing done to the extent of 500, and Mr. Oscar Busch is having his new building fitted up in the most approved modern strlb of plumbing. The county court has very wisely had an extensive system of supply and sewerage put in at the .oiu t house, Franklin County Ores. Col. A. W. Manpin informs us that Bartle & Duckworth of St Clair have recently shipped from that place a carload of gaiena lead ore to the reduction works at Cheltingham, to see what can be gotten out of it. The reg:on round about St. Clair abounds iu this ore ; it is being smelted there daily at a furnace owned and run by the same gentlemen who hare made this shipment, but the sttppositinn is they do not succeed in extracting all the wealth from the mother ore. Some are even of the opinieu that if handled properly ,1 paying perceut of silver can be obtained. Ripans Tabules cure nausea.

Our city fathers failed to connect for a meeting last Monday evening, their regular time for meeting. At a meeting Tuesday evening nothing of importance w is transacted, but an important question was discussed, that ui furnishing public watering fountains at convenient points, especially for the accommodiation of the country customers who come to town. TU.-se are of great importance, and like all other good things in connection with our water works system, will come in time. It is said tint some of our spirited citizens are thinking of putting up public fountains at their own expense They are the kind of citizens that make a city. We are called upon this week to chronicle the death of one of Franklin county's prominent citizens, Edwin Jeffries. Esq., of St. Clair. Mr. Jeffries has been confined for fifteen or twenty days with a carbuncle on the back of his head, and quite a number of boils iu different parts of the system. He has probably been a very great sufferer. Relief came to him at 3 o'clock last Sunday afternoon, Aug. 1, 18U7. Mr. Jeffries was bom nearly 55 years ago, on the old Jas. Jeffries homestead, now in the suburt.s of St. Clair, a son of Janes Jeffries, one of tiie pioneer settlers of thi" pa.t of the state. He died at the place of his birth. The subject of our sketch was a gentleman of fair education, but we are not aware of where hi received hisschooling. He served honorably in the army of the Southern Confereracy in the War of Rebellion, receiving a very severe scalp wound from an exploding shrll. Returning from the war, Mr. Jeffries entered the practice of the law in this, his native, county, and took a lively interest iu politics. He was twice the successful candidate for the office of prosecuting attorney, and was appointed by the county court as swamp land commissioner, at a time when that was an important position. Under Cleveland's first administration, Mr. Jeffries received the appointment as deputy internal revenue collectoy for this district. He acquitted Himself so well that upon Cleveland resuming the affiirs of government, he was reappointed to the position, which he held till the tiaie of his death. Mr. Jeffries had been twice married. His fitst wife and their only child died some years since. A wife, formerly a MiSi Coons of St. Louis, and two siall children now survive him. Deceased !! a very moral and exam-pl.try life, but was not a churchmember. Funeral took place Monday 21 inst.. at 2 P.
